We <had> a requirement to start evaluating our self-extracting zips using the same logic that we use for the regular zip files that we make. In our zip files we add a manifest file that specifies the post-extract command that needs to be run.
In our self-extracting zips we exclude the manifest so we don't have it to use to get the post-extract command.

I was looking for a way to get the information from the self-extracting archive itself.

So to summarize the scenario that we had at the time. It was to:

1. Load a self-extracting zip from a program we create

2. Get the details that were used to build the zip. Most importantly get the post-extract command.

3. Run the post-extract command from another program

Thanks for your reply,

PS. We use your API alot and appreciate the good work. Keep at it and we look forward to future versions.
